To be clear, I don't say that the Congress should not pass the health care bill. I think if they pass this health care bill as it is in the Senate it is political suicide. This is easily remedied: remove the mandates.

What I think is the best solution is simple: Medicare buy-in with subsidies. Let anyone just buy in to Medicare at cost plus 5 or 10 percent for overhead. Add subsidies so people with lower incomes can afford this.
